2,3:22,23-Dioxidosqualene; Squalene 2,3:22,23-Diepoxide; (all-E)-2,3:22,23-Diepoxy-2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyl-6,10,14,18-tetracosatetraene; 2,2'-(3,7,12,16-Tetramethyl-3,7,11,15-octadecatetraene-1,18-diyl)bis[3,3-dimethyl-oxirane]

Squalene 2,3:22,23-Dioxide is formed from he epoxidation of 2,3-oxidosqualene, by squalene epoxidase. Squalene 2,3:22,23-Dioxide is accumulated intracellularly during the inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
